A BEAUTY business is going from strength to strength, thanks to a growing number of male clients.

Men in the former steel town of Consett are increasingly turning to Finishing Touch Health and Beauty Clinic in Medomsley Road, for health and beauty treatments.

The past few years have seen dozens of men calling in.

Finishing Touch owner Susan Routledge said: "Men are now booking themselves in regularly for facials, manicures or a sports massage and it is a growing side of our business."
